Stata do-files to replicate the results in "The elusive quest for additionality" by Patrick Carter, Nicolas Van de Sijpe, and Raphael Calel.

All of our data is generated from this code, so no separate datasets are needed.

To run these files, you will have to adjust the file paths in the do-files and create a number of folders.

Cross-country analysis:
- elusive.do defines the program "elusive" that captures the data-generating process (DGP).
- MCcountry.do runs the Monte Carlo simulations by calling up elusive.do. Create a subfolder
called "Generated data"; this is where MCcountry.do will leave the simulated datasets.
- tables.do summarises the simulation results. It creates Excel tables in subfolder "Tables", 
which you'll have to create before running this file. (You might also need to pause Dropbox syncing to allow this file 
to repeatedly save over the Excel files it creates.)
This do-file also creates TeX files containing the code for the results reported in the paper. 
These TeX files are exported to the folder defined in the local "tablesexport" at the start of the do-file.
Change the filepath in this local to point to the folder you want to store the TeX files in.

Firm-level analysis:
- elusivefirms.do defines the program "elusivefirms" that captures the DGP to generate project-level data.
This DGP is a simplified version of the one in elusive. In particular, since we set T=1 any code specifying
how variables change over time has been removed.
- simfirm.do generates the project-level data by calling up elusivefirms.do. 
This do-file creates the figures from the paper. 
These figures are exported to the folder defined in the local "figures" at the start of the do-file.
Change the filepath in this local to point to the folder you want to store the figures in.

To run these files, you will need to install the following user-written Stata commands (version we used in brackets):
